"Don't rush, calm down first," Xiao Jingchuan comforted her, his eyes filled with determination. "Your second sister-in-law isn't the kind of heartless person; she must have her reasons for doing this."

"But...but Grandma is getting old and can't take any more stress!" Xiao Zhenzhu was still worried. "What if something happens to Grandma? How will we explain it to the family?"

“Pearl, believe me, your second sister-in-law won’t hurt the old lady.” Xiao Jingchuan patted Xiao Zhenzhu’s hand. “She just wants to teach the old lady a lesson and let her know that she did wrong. Moreover, this will also prevent the old lady from doing anything more outrageous in the future.”

“But Grandma is so stubborn, will she listen to Second Sister-in-law?” Xiao Zhenzhu asked worriedly.

"Although the old lady is stubborn, she's not unreasonable. As long as we patiently explain things to her, she should understand," Xiao Jingchuan casually remarked, secretly hoping Shen Qingchi would teach Granny Yang a lesson.

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Zhenzhu nodded, feeling a little more at ease.

"By the way, Pearl! Don't tell Second Uncle and Eldest Brother about this for now, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble," Xiao Jingchuan casually instructed.

“Okay, I understand,” Xiao Zhenzhu replied. “So what should we do now?”

"Let's wait and see how things go," Xiao Jingchuan continued to try to persuade Xiao Zhenzhu.

Xiao Zhenzhu bit her lip and nodded: "Alright, I hope Grandma can understand our good intentions."

Seeing that Chu Yunfan was still standing there dumbfounded, Shen Qingchi sternly ordered, "Young Master Chu, since the carriage doesn't belong to Granny Yang, you have no right to make Young Master Xiao and his wife pay compensation."

"Your Excellency is absolutely right. I will go to the county office now to ask Granny Yang for compensation." Chu Yunfan humbled himself, as he was preparing to slip away.

Shen Yunsheng called out to him, "Young Master Chu, in my opinion, you should treat the wound on your face first to avoid leaving a scar."

The moment their eyes met, Chu Yunfan was flattered. At that moment, he became a sycophant and forgot how Shen Yunsheng had previously berated him.

“Miss Chen! You are beautiful inside and out. I treated you so badly before, yet you still care about me so much.”

Shen Yunsheng sneered, "[I'm only concerned about the money; I'll use you as a test subject later.]"

Xiao Jingchuan: [I was right! My wife really was after money.]

"Young Master Chu! I have a bottle of special medicine here, specifically for treating external injuries. Would you like to try it?" Shen Yunsheng said, handing over the medicine he had prepared last time.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan immediately pressed on, "Miss Chen! Is the special medicine you mentioned prepared by Young Master Wuyou? I met Manager Zhou of Heda Money Shop before, and he said that Young Master Wuyou cured his face."

Shen Yunsheng nodded, a satisfied smile on his face: "The scar-removing cream that my senior brother concocted is quite expensive; this small bottle costs at least five hundred taels."

Shen Yunsheng chuckled to herself. Although the ointment in her hand was defective, it was more than enough to heal Chu the bully's injuries.

“Miss Shen! Five hundred taels isn’t expensive. I’ll take this ointment.” Chu Yunfan took the ointment from Shen Yunsheng without hesitation, opened the lid, and gently smelled it. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes; he was clearly very satisfied with the smell of the ointment.

"Young Master Chu! Since you are sincere in your intention to buy, I will only charge you five hundred taels."

"Miss Shen is such a straightforward person. I feel at ease doing business with you."

Chu Yunfan gave his page a wink, and the page immediately paid the money.

After Chu Yunfan left, Shen Qingchi looked at Shen Yunsheng and said, "Madam Xiao, we owe you a lot this time. Otherwise, who knows how long that old woman Yang would have continued to be so arrogant."

Shen Yunsheng smiled slightly, "You flatter me, Magistrate. This is simply my duty. However, I doubt that Granny Yang will let this go so easily. You must be careful, sir."

Xiao Jingchuan nodded in agreement, "That's right, this old woman has always been difficult to deal with, she will definitely find a chance to get revenge in the future."

"Why should we be afraid of her?" The old man said dismissively. "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If she dares to cause trouble again, I will not tolerate it."

Shen Qingchi deeply admired the old man's open-mindedness. "What you said is absolutely right, we don't need to be afraid of her. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just come and find me."

"Then thank you very much, Magistrate." Xiao Jingchuan clasped his hands in thanks.

After everyone had left, Xiao Jingchuan gently took Shen Yunsheng's hand and said, "My wife, you have suffered a grievance today."

Shen Yunsheng smiled gently, "I'm fine. But you, I'm so happy that you stood up for me so firmly in front of your grandmother just now."

Xiao Jingchuan embraced Shen Yunsheng, saying, "I told you, I will protect you for the rest of my life. No matter who it is, they will not be able to harm you in the slightest."

The old man pulled Xiao Jingchuan away with displeasure, then casually pulled his granddaughter to his side, saying, "You brat, Youyou is mine, get out of my way."
